The Frenzy and Legacy of AI
The Discovery and Speculation
- 2023 has been marked by the discovery of AI, represented by ChatGPT, and the ensuing speculative bubble.
- Large corporations are launching products that “hallucinate” and investing heavily in AI technologies.
- Microsoft plans on purchasing 150,000 Nvidia chips at $30,000 each.
Technological Progress and Bubbles
- Historically, technological progress has been driven by outbreaks of irrational exuberance and massive investments.
- Examples of previous bubbles include the dotcom boom of the late 1990s and the US railway boom of the 1850s onwards.
- Despite the financial losses, these bubbles have led to the creation of vital networks and new industries.
Hot Takes
While the frenzy and speculation surrounding AI may seem like madness, it’s not an unfamiliar pattern in the history of technological progress. The allure of the unknown and the potential for groundbreaking innovation often lead to irrational behavior and excessive investments. However, amidst the chaos and bankruptcies, these bubbles have paved the way for transformative advancements. So, while we may laugh at the absurdity of spending large sums on AI chips that can “hallucinate,” let’s not forget that this turbulent period might just be laying the foundation for a future of remarkable technological achievements. After all, as they say, “crazy is as crazy does.”

The ship, adorned with futuristic technology, is surrounded by swirling clouds and crashing waves. The colors are rich and the brushstrokes are bold, capturing the excitement and energy of the AI’s discovery and technological progress. Rays of sunlight break through the dark clouds, casting a warm glow on the ship and hinting at the legacy that this AI will leave behind.
